Recipe Summary

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Servings: 4
  • Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Additional grated parmesan (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken.
  5. Add the grated parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional grated parmesan before serving.
  8. Serve hot with your favorite side of roasted vegetables and a glass of white wine for an elegant dining experience.

Helpful Tips

  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add a splash of chicken broth or milk to the sauce.
  • For a crispy twist, you can bread the chicken breasts with parmesan and breadcrumbs before cooking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

  • Mashed Potatoes

  • A crisp glass of Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc
